How strong is the female sex drive after all?

The sexual patterns of couples also indicate that women are sexually adaptable. The female libido fluctuates throughout the month, based on ovulation and the menstrual cycle. But couples do not appear to have sex more or less frequently based on what time of the month it is. Rather, couples have sex in weekly and daily patterns–in the evenings and/or on weekends. A 1991 survey looked at how the gap between how frequently men and women desire sex and how often they actually have sex; the gap is bigger for women, 82 percent of whom had sex when they did not desire it, compared to 60 percent of men.

What could explain this flexibility? Baumeister proposed that “Women might be more willing to adapt their sexuality to local norms and contexts and different situations, because they aren’t quite so driven by strong urges and cravings as men are.”…

So Baumeister and two (female) colleagues set to work reviewing hundreds of studies about human sexuality and found consistently that women are less motivated by sex than men are.

For men, they found, the goal of sex is sex itself. One 1996 study found that seven in ten men–compared to four in ten women–said the goal of sexual desire was simply having sex. In the same study, 35 percent of women said that love and intimacy were important goals of sex compared to 13 percent of men. Men also think about sex more, according to studies. When men and women monitor their sexual urges over a seven-day period, men report having twice as many sexual urges as women do.

That couldn’t possibly connected to the fact that women get pregnant and men don’t … or that one man can impregnate thousands of women in a year while any woman can only have one pregnancy per year …

Some of these so-called scientists are just too much. Who would have thought that biological reality would affect behavior?? Only the idiot leftists think that people exist independent of any reality and can be shaped and formed into anything the leftists want. To a leftist, the fact that women can’t run nearly as fast as men and aren’t nearly as strong means nothing in professions where speed and strength are important requirements. Equality!! Even if Nature protests. Just pretend it’s true and it will be. And the leftists are worst in this sense when it comes to sex, where the differences in the genders are the most pronounced and important.

Karl Marx first postulated, and Antonio Gramsci further elbaorated, that the nuclear family with the central pillar of the capitalist system, and that capitalism could never be toppled until the nuclear family was obliterated as the basic social unit.

From then until now, therefore, the academic left has been doing its damnedest to destroy monogamy, assuming that by doing so they would be destroying the family unit and thus opening the door for a fundamental communist revolution.

Practically every single article, book and study about female sexuality published by “progressives” since the ’30s has been biased, slanted, bogus or simply outright false. In most cases the claim is that women are super-duper horny and we’re cruel to restrict them to monogamy with our domineering patriarchal culture.

And the end result of all the propagandistic balderdash? Zilch.

Because you can’t change human nature with propaganda, no matter how hard you try. The vast majority of women, of their own volition, seek out and crave a one-on-one long-term relationship with another person. It’s not a cultural artifact – it’s genetics. The fact that every single culture that has ever existed on earth, cultures which vary in every imaginable other way, have all had one feature in common, man/woman marriage, proves beyond any doubt that monogamy is naturally occurring, not an artifact of cultural pressure.

The linked article does a good job of debunking the “woman are hornier than men” book being reviewed. But it hardly was even necessary — no one except the academic left and Cosmopolitan even pays much attention to these types of studies any more.

Well, in my younger single days, I had sex with a few women I didn’t really want to have sex with. Believe it or not, I did it to keep from hurting their feelings.

I’m pretty sure that reflects badly on me, not them…but there are worse things than being easy. I’d rather have sex with a woman I’m not thrilled about than help someone move. Definitely more pleasurable.

I remember reading about this study in the late 90’s. It was published in the imminent scientific journal: Duh!
